Jango Fettish

Anywho, I was never a big fan of E.U., aside from maybe the visual dictionaries, cross sections, etc. I picked up all 4 Open Seasons from a member on RS, took a look, and was completely blown away. The story flowed, the art was dope, and it wasn't full of un-credible characters.

It ended up tying in nicely with the Bounty Hunter video game as well.

I used to ignore E.U. strictly for it's not so believable story lines. I am glad I got these books, as well as the trade paperback.

Unfortunately, I was not as equally impressed withthe graphic novel. It seemed a little too "Spawn: Dark Ages" for me. I guess I like "hip" animation and color.

Anyway, anyone else a fan of the series? I just wanna see that I am not all alone here!

One of my friends just got this about a week ago and I read it in about a half hour. What an awesome comic book! The pictures were well illustrated, and it had a great story line. I'm going to be ordering one from Dark Horse Comics sometime next month I think.

I've never been into comics all that much, but after reading that I'm definitely hooked!

I was thinking the same thing. I haven't been much of a comic books fan since maybe the early 90's, around the time when I took up sports. I'd love to get back into comics, given DH can put out visually appealing stuff such as "Open Seasons".

The thing I liked most about this EU story is how they portrayed the Mandalorians in "Open seasons". It says straight up in the beginning of the first issue that mandalorians under jaster's command were mercenaries plain and simple. they were soldiers doing their job and nothing else, which is very boba/jango fett.

Other forms of EU always portray Mandalorians as honour-bound warriors with deep-rooted traditions and I'm not really one for that because it doesn't really match up with Jango and boba's lifestyles. I'm not saying that boba and jango were amoral, I'm just saying that they weren't too strung up with honor.

Need some clarification. "Open Seasons" is four seperate comics, and then there is another version a "Trade" paperback, which is a graphic novel? I've been meaning to pick these up, but just want to make sure I know what to look for. Thanks.

Each issue is pretty much pictures of mandalorians in different seasonal backdrops. The first one is of Jaster holding onto a young jango's arm while shooting, the second one is of a mandalorian on his knees lifting up a dead mandalorian, the third one is of jango on his knees and dooku up on a hill behind him, they're both an a snowy area, and the fourth one is in a field it looks like in the spring and jango's shooting with his twin westar-34 blaster pistols.
